512X512X512, is bigger than it seems.

[QUOTE=Kingy_who;17082433]512X512X512, is bigger than it seems.[/QUOTE] Indeed, you realise that you can go up too...

I'm in!

Level design is shit...but an online round of this would be THE shit: [img_thumb]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/BJK51/Hammer/lt1.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/BJK51/Hammer/lt2.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/BJK51/Hammer/lt3.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/BJK51/Hammer/lt4.jpg[/img_thumb] Laser tag. Final BSP is only 522kb. :dance:

This looks like a good idea, would be fun to see the maps that get done.

Working on a map now...

Same.

If you're going to make something so small a focus on vignettes is more appropriate than on playability.

[QUOTE=Lankist;17084138]If you're going to make something so small a focus on vignettes is more appropriate than on playability.[/QUOTE] Vignettes = details?

512x512x512 for the playable area? Is that total? So 512 cubed is the maximum playable area, so I could make a huge map so long as the player could only go in the area that is cubed or what?

Right, 512 units wide, tall and long as the playable area. Everything else can be cosmetic.

[QUOTE=war_man333;17084387]Vignettes = details?[/QUOTE] A vignette is a very precise focus on a very small scene or aspect of a scene. In this context it means a nice-looking, small but highly detailed scene, its focus on detail and beauty rather than playability and rationale.

Any idea when the deadline is? Who's judging? ..I'm about halfway done.

End of the month sound good for a deadline? Making maps is a lot faster when you're working with a small area, I'm about halfway through with mine.

ive just started mapmaking so mine will suck :P

I don't think we'll need quite that long, it's not really very much to make a nice small map like this..

16th then?, that gives people two weeks.

can the map itself be more that 512x512x512? like.. with detail around it? and a large open peice of water (im not doing an island i just want to know)

My attempt at a creepy carpark, lighting sucks, well only 15 minutes work. [img]http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2838/carpark0001.jpg[/img] [img]http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/9269/carpark0000.jpg[/img]

I'm going to participate in this.

anyone want to tell me? ill give you a :razz::hf::3: :hfive:

It's not yet finished. A few things still suck like the lightning and places to hide behind when you get shot at. but I'll fix that later. here are some pics for now. [b]Edit:[/b] It is playable but it's kind of boring because it would just be shooting stairs action and that's not really fun. That's why I'll place more furniture tomorrow. Oh and yes I see I posted the same image 2 times :I

could you also make it 256x256x256 in one area and the same in another

Hahah. This reminds me 512x512 in Doom mapping competitions. I need ideas what to map.

[QUOTE=Unib5;17086930]Hahah. This reminds me 512x512 in Doom mapping competitions. I need ideas what to map.[/QUOTE] In doom would be harder because you can't have multiple floors above eachother easy. you can have higher floors though.

I will get started on this this weekend! Deadline is the 16th, right?

I think this might be the first map I ever finish. Everyone has to start small and work their way up to bigger maps right? ;D I believe I know what i'm going to do, I just need to learn how to execute it properly... :|

I think 8 units high, 12 units long is the size of the steps in most valve maps.
